My family and I enjoy going to the movies and I will get my family up and take them out of a movie theatre. Why? I don’t believe in watching a movie where two people go through a traumatic experience, and one dies of cancer. Statistics show that 1 out…
When there is a thing deep in our heart that God is drawing us toward, we need take that first step. God is efficient, he uses our experience and skills, as well as what’s in our heart for that thing he’s calling us to do. He gifts us with talents…
The difference between the people who make it and the people who don’t is found in what they say. The people who don’t make it say, “Forget it, I give up. I can’t take it anymore.” The ones who make it say, “I am not moved by what I see….
Summer is a time of celebration, getting outdoors and enjoying the weather. The Bible reads in 1 Corinthians 13:11, “When I was a child I spoke as a child, but when I became a man, I put away childish ways.” It’s not that we can’t have fun. It means we…

The fact of gravity keeps an airplane on the ground. The truth of the Bernoulli principle allows an airplane to lift when the wind flows across the wings. My wife had stage 4 cancer and was told she would never have kids. She is still alive and has a child….
When we have a problem, the first thing we should do is use the precious name of Jesus. Stamp his name all over the situation. The next step might be to take the appropriate follow-on action. If we have back pain, we can take an Advil, but we should drop…
Names give us access or entry, and they are important. I had the same name as my Dad, so I could use his credit card and use his benefits because I used his name. There is power in a name. But there are insecure people who will drop names out…
